"My Chemical Romance has hopped on the Taking Back Sunday tour, and when they stopped in Seattle, I had a chance to speak to these guys. Let me say, I don't think I have met a group of more funny guys in a long time. They were all hilarious, extremely kind, and open to all the questions I asked, often elaborating into some pretty funny and outrageous stories."
Click READ MORE for the full interview, in all it's crashing-into-parked-cars glory.

How would you describe your music to someone who has never heard MCR before?

Gerard: I would describe it as rock n roll played by a bunch of guys that listen to Iron Maiden, Black Flag, The Misfits, Classical music, Fantasy Metal, and Brit-pop.
Mikey: It’s rock n roll played by a munch of man boys. We’re hard core R&B.

All : Chicago, the Metro in Chicago. It’s the shit. Boston and Jersey too.
Gerard: We’ve played at the fireside two times, and I think if we had played there more that would be out favorite venue, but we have only had like two really brief experiences there.

How do you set your music apart from all the other emo/hardcore bands out in the industry today?

Gerard: Well what’s different about us is that we are not really an emo band, we get booked on a lot of the same tours and shows with what people are calling emo bands. Everyone will obviously say that emo is a really loaded term, it is pretty much just what people are calling music that kids are playing now a days. Um it’s punk, it’s rock, it’s hardcore, and we are not really part of that whole emo thing, but we are booked with a lot of bands that are emo, so it’s really interesting for us. What makes us different is that we kinda have an attitude about it, like a rock band, like a rock and roll band and uh, we kinda bring something like that to the table.

Do you see MCR ever moving to a major label in the future, or sticking to the smaller Indy labels?

Gerard: Major Labels are something that . . . well it depends. When you start a band you want to get you message out to as many people as possible. And major labels are a way to do that, and um, we see a lot of bands using that method like Thursday and stuff like that and it never, well shouldn’t change the band. I know it hasn’t changed Thursday, I can speak for them for sure. But sometimes it does change people, but, it doesn’t really change the band. A major label is just a way for them to get better distribution, you know, they get to make records they really want to make. Even a band like Radiohead can spend millions of dollars on a record, now you know? But we defiantly see ourselves always, well we will always consider ourselves and Eyeball band no matter what. We will always consider ourselves Indy, we come from that, no matter what happens in the future we are always going to be involved with the Indy labels, doing splits, doing seven inches, whatever.

What would be the lineup for your ideal tour?

Ray: Wait! We decided this a couple of days ago. It would be us, Recover and The Iron Maidens- an all female Iron Maiden cover band. And they are ugly.
In the background – “No they’re not dude! Not all of them”
Ray: Yea, well one of them is. And it will be incredible.

When you are on the road what do you listen to/what do you do to pass time?

Matt: We got Nintendo to pass time.
Ray: We got the Zelda game that this kid’s been playing all the time. We have an X-Box buried somewhere in here too.
Gerard: We’re like game Nerds. I got the new Cradle of Filth too, so that is what I have been listening to now. Everybody always picks up cd’s.
All: The Exit. We have been listening to them a lot. And The Ghost.

Have you had any really horrible experiences or really great experiences on the road so far that have impacted the band?

Matt: Mikey got into a fight and broke his foot.
Ray: Ha-ha, he got into a fight with a wall. The wall was mouthing off to him.
Mikey: I got to hobble around with a cane for a while.
Matt: Ray ripped the fender off the van.
Ray: That was pretty funny though, it gives it attitude, don’t you think?
Gerard: My dad keeps asking about the fender too. He goes, “Did you guys put the fender on yet.” And I was like, well we have it.
Ray: It was also a crazy time when I ripped my head apart.
Gerard: Yeah he got a really bad gash in his head in Columbus. And his face was like a mask of blood. We were terrified.
Ray: And then this girl sent a picture to me. She sent this email because we put on our website that we wanted a picture of us playing live. And she sent this email saying “oh, we say you guys in Columbus, um, Gerard is so cute. I wonder if you guys remember me, I hugged Gerard after the show.” And the picture that she attached was called Gerard, and it was me and Gerard standing nest to each other, You can hardly see his face, but my face was completely covered in blood.

After you finish a set, and you leave the stage, what message or impact do you want to leave on your audience?

Ray: “I just got fucked”
Gerard: Well the main theme is the whole anti-suicide thing. You know we really want to get that across to people that there is always someone to talk to even us, especially us if you are at a show and you are feeling upset. I mean I have had tons of people come up and talk to me about it and that’s the best. When we can talk about that, rather than my hair or some shit like that. Well, that is one main message, and the other message is like just fuckin’ be who you want to be, be yourself, and live out everything you absolutely want to live, cause were up there, and we are like five, probably most self conscious dudes in the world, and we get up there and we try to act like in Queen, you know what I mean. It’s not very characteristic for people who have self esteem issues, you know. And we have gotten over that and so many other problems involving our mental health with this band. This band is our therapy, and we try to get that across to people.

What were your inspirations during the beginning guitar in “Headfirst for Halos?”

ALL: Van Halen, Queen.
Ray: Queen was a big one.
Background: (there were certain other influences too. . . ha-ha)
Ray: Ohhh well that influence was for the rest of the music in this song. We were fuckin’ zoinked out of our heads when we wrote that song. It seems like it is really against what everything sounds like on the record. It’s really major.
Gerard: We wrote it literally on the spot. I mean that song wrote itself. In like 10 minutes, lyrics, everything. We were just joking’ around and I was like this is the catchiest, popiest, stupidest shit I have ever heard, and I was like how can I make lyrics make it not. And then I figured a way to do that. At first we were like no, this in not a My Chemical Romance song, but we just kept fighting it until it was.

What is with all the vampire/hospital allusions?

Gerard: Um, the vampire stuff is actually only in one song. The hospital stuff is in a lot of them. The hospital theme is like; I mean with me personally I am in and out of freakin’ hospitals, constantly and emergency rooms epically, for God knows what. So many different things, and all of us are in the hospital or sick, or so many things, and the hospital is just a good metaphor for a lot of stuff. It’s kinda a safe place but yet scare place so I kinda put it in the songs as a metaphor so people always have something to go to. Like in Vampires I say “take me to the doctor” obviously another hospital type reference. But I don’t know, it is just like the last safe place. And the vampire this was only once, but, we get a bad rep for it.
Mikey: And we’re not even talking about vampires.
Gerard: I think a lot of that came from how we were in the beginning. A little gothic, ya know. Now I got that leather jacket and it is all cool.

What Jersey bands are you into right now? Any we should look out for?

Matt: Up and coming you should look out for Senses Fail. We’re going out with them soon.
Gerard: The only problem with us answering this question is that we haven’t been in Jersey since October so. . .
Matt: Well every band that we like from Jersey is already huge.
Mikey: Yeah ha-ha, check out this band called Thursday, they are pretty good.
Matt: Yeah check out Midtown and Saves the Day.
Ray: I miss “Little Buddy” dude . . .
(someone in back) Little buddy??
Ray: “Little Buddy” you know, from Senses Fail, the singer. He’s a good kid.

Do you feel you have ever done your fans a disservice by not performing to you full potential because you were intoxicated? (I told the band that this was a question submitted on line before I read it to them)

Ray: Hahahaha. Wait did someone actually ask that??
All: Wow . . . . I wonder what show was at.
Gerard: I think maybe he’s asking because he fuckin’ plays live and gets wasted.
Ray: Wait can I read the question?
Gerard: You what the weird thing is. I think people think we are intoxicated, I think that the thing. A lot of people think we are wasted up there and we are not at all. An I think that people have this impression that I am loaded off my ass on booze, and most of the time I am completely sober. (Background: ha-ha completely sober?) No, seriously most of the time I have had at most one or two beers.
Matt: I think the biggest drinker would be Mikey. You know you can never tell if he is drunk or not. Ha-ha.
Ray: Wait, real quick though, I will say that I have felt that I haven’t played as good because I have had like one or two beers and it slows me down.
Gerard: Yea, in the beginning we defiantly had a couple of shows, I mean in the very beginning, because we played a lot bar shows.
Matt: That was also because some people were really scared to get in front of a crowd. So they may have needed to get fuckin’ loaded to do it.

At this moment the door van opened and Ross and Dan from Recover stopped by to say hi. They also asked My Chemical Romance to back their van up a little. So Ray jumped into the front seat to move the van, and as he backed up, Ross didn’t do too good of a job directing him, and we backed the trailer into a car parked behind us. The laughing took a while to calm down. And the band decided that this incident belonged under my question of memorable experiences on the road.
Ray: Well we just backed into a random car with our trailer. Ha-ha.

How much technical guitar lesions have you had, you music seems very sophisticated and impressive?

Gerard: Well, it’s just that we are very sophisticated gentlemen, and out music is very sophisticated. No no, we just listen to a lot of metal, and Ray is a fucking genius on guitar. That’s it. That is what you are hearing.
Ray: Ha ha genius? Do you want to hear about my years of technical guitar lessons? I had no life in high school. No fucking friends, nothing. After I got out of class I would just sit at home and play guitar all fucking day. And play street fighter too. Oh, and I also took typing lessons. Typing lessons help with your fingers.
Gerard: Well we basically have four punk rock dudes, backed up by a really great guitarist, and it sounds really technical.

Can you give your feelings on your album “I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love”

Gerard: We love it, um, I think the experience itself in making the recorded and getting to hang out with Jeff and Alex and John and Tucker, it was just a great experience for us all and we’re always going to look at that record as being special. We only did it in like nine days ten days something like that. But it was such a great experience and we love everything about the record, we love every song and we love the way the cover looks.
Ray: it was defiantly an incredible experience. It was the first time I think any of us had gone in to record fucking for real, and it sounded so fucking good. We were blown away. We were like whoa, that’s us. It was awesome.

What expectations do you have for MCR in the future?

Ray: To be the biggest fuckin’ rock n roll band in the world.
Gerard: To open up for iron maiden- direct support. We actually almost did in Germany, but we can’t go over there now, so it stinks. But to directly support Iron Maiden that is my personal goal. And to just be a rock band. And to reach as many people as possible. And not so much to leave a legacy, because that kinda stuff is bullshit, but to make a difference, you know what I mean, and then people will remember that as opposed to like “ah they were the biggest rock band ever” which is cool too.

As far as new records or videos go is there anything coming up?

Ray: Well we hired a group of writers to write the second album, because we didn’t feel like doing it, ha-ha, so they are the guys who worked on the last “NSYC record.
Gerard: The same guys that worked on the Good Charlotte record. Ha-ha that was for you Frank because I know you want to talk shit.
Ray: Yeah the new shit is going to be a lot more commercial and radio friendly, all over TRL. We are trying to keep all the songs under two minutes and twelve seconds, song titles really short. It is going to be amazing. I can’t wait to hear what it sounds like.
Matt: I can’t wait to learn it. We have to learn to play that stuff live you know.
Ray: Honestly, we’re writing all the time. Well actually that’s a lie, we haven’t written in a couple days. But we are always experimenting with shit. We just need some time off, but at the same time we don’t want time off because we just want to fucking tour forever.
Gerard: It’s really hard to find the medium in that you know.
Ray: I am fucking psyched about recording the new shit because it is going to be sick.
All: It will be out when it’s ready.

At this time, we had finished with the interview, but the guys wanted to show me what some of their fans in Chicago had made for them. Gerard pulled out this huge scrap book that covered every show they had played in Chicago with full picture detail. It was extremely impressive, and the guys were so honored, proud, and appreciative to have fans make it for them. I was extremely impressed as well. There was a lot of work put into this scrapbook, and I could tell that My Chemical Romance loved it and is going to treasure it forever.

All: It’s the best thing we have ever gotten. It is amazing. It’s incredible. This is every show we have ever played in Chicago. Pictures of us playing at all the shows. This is taken by Teresa, Amanda, Lil Motherfucker, Sarah, Ashley. It took them two months to make. It goes from playing the Fireside to Metro. And in the back it gets even better because they all wrote us notes each. It’s amazing. The best thing we will probably ever get and we love it. It’s saying what the bands means to them, and how they found out about us and all their experiences at our shows in Chicago. We love it. When you see something like this, it’s just . . . . I don’t know. That’s Chicago for you. We are very lucky. We have the best fans.

Although these guys are lucky to have fans like that, the totally deserve it. They are all extremely friendly, funny, and humble, and deserve all the success in the world. They are a great group of guys, and if you get the chance you should support them when they come to your town.

MCR rocks!! They are one of the mosst talented bands I've heard in a very long time. Listen to the way they blend classical guitar with punk and heavy metal. The lyrics are thoughtful, insightful and poetic. Gerard can definatly sing and he's very fun to watch (hehe). Seriously though, this is a damn good band. They deserve all the credit in the world. Go buy the album. Right now. Why are you still here?! Much love to MCR
Cass

My Chemical Romance is the coolest band!! I walked into Hot Topic a while ago just to look at gauges and shit. I asked the guy at the desk if there were any cool bands out and he went and pulled MCR's Bullets and Love CD. IT FUCKING ROCKED!! Believe it or not, I thought Vampires Will Never Hurt You was the coolest song on the album!! Then I heard about Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge...best album ever...LOVE YOU!!!
PS...Gerard...how the fuck do you properly say your name?! haha

I agree, MCR kicks ass. I will always support them. I'm semi-obsessed and they will always kick serious ass! If you agree or disagree, tell me. My sn is Prettykittybabea. Gerard you are so HOT!!!! MCR's songs really speak 2 me. They like, mirror what is happening in my life now.

i met my chemical romance. and yes they are all that they are put up to be. there music makes me happy. to know that someone else has gone through the same pain as me. or is thinking how much being called a freek and weird really affects someone. Knowing that they went through the same things and that they do the same things as me it makes me feel as if i have done nothing wrong now.

MCR is an awsome band. I haven't seen them live because they don't tour anywhere near me! It's not fucking fair! I think that it is great that they all care about their fans, and are willing to help them with their problems. I wish I had friends like them.
~Anna

Okay this is really bothering me. I think that people only like My chemical Romance because they are obsessed with the band members. Dont you ever take the time to listen to the music? Obviously you guys arent listening to the message of the songs. And probably everyone here wouldnt have a chance with Gerard.

DUDE...thanks so much for saying that. So many times people are just obsessed with the band members and dont really listen to the music. I reall love their music and I think that they are an amazing group and have mad skills. They are really inspiring and they are great guys too.

I totally feel the same way. Yeah I admit they are really hot...but their music is so good. I think whenever you have to actually go over lyrics to a song to find out what message its bringing, that makes a good band and great writers.

i luv MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE they fucking rock that music video IM NOT OK is very funny poor GERARD he got pushed DONT WORRY GERARD YOUR NURSE IS COMIN nah im playing i luv that song HELENA i think GERARD has nice teeth and hes hot with that makeup damm if i touch him ill burn myself becuz hes hot somking

ANALEE.LEGUILLOW
LOL

look im 13 and i have been listening to mcr ever since they came out
and i understand what theyre saying and i love their music and i love the
lead singer because he reminds me of my own boyfriend.
I THINK PEOPLE SHOULD ACTUALLY LISTEN TO THE WORDS AND NOT LIKE THEM BECAUSE THE GUYS IN THE GROUP MAY BE CUTE!!!!!!!

This is an awesome interview....I can bet you that MCR fucking is hilarious...I so totally loved them...Fuck i dont know what else to say...Im out of words...Um...so..yea is really awesome that they try and help ppl out after their concert by talking to their fans they rock...Talk about Gerards hair...lol...I hope i get to know them sooner then later...Their lyrics fucking rock...Keep up with the awesome work guys..Oh for you fans out there the next video is going to be The Ghost of you...Gerard spilled the beans he sux ass at keeping secrets..he says "The next video is going to be The Ghost Of You but i have to keep my lips shut"..lol...but i know what he meant...he meant he could tell them which song it was but not like what was going to be IN the video.

i luv u guys so much no song meant so much that i was in tears other than "helena". u r the most amazing group i have ever heard. my only hope in my life would be to meet u guys in person and to tell u these things to ur face. but i will love u just as much whether i only see u in posters on my walls, music videos, or simply in ur interview on aol music on demand. i have listened to helena at least 100 or 200 times each as perfect to me as the last. i hate that my mom calls me a freak cuz i have a crush on the lead singer....but he is so hot!!!! and i wish i could meet him in person...well i will always love u no matter wat whether we ever cross paths in life or not i will always remember how that song touched my life after my grandmother died...ur wat got me through thank u now and always ur #1 fan ever tanya gustafson 6300 logan ave lincoln NE if even nothin else i wish u would write so i know u heard all that i had to say u guys just dont know wat a part u play in my life i dont know wat i would do without u..........so thank u for all that u have done 4 me and plz dont 4get that u guys help people so dont stop....i wish i could help people like u do.....but i do try im a good person with a good heart 4rm wat im told....but im just lookin up to my role models...u guys! remember that at least 1 person appreciates all u do and will continue to do....
all my love to u 4rm tanya gustafson-601-1290 and i hope to meet u 1 day...
peace out guys keep doin wat u do...and dont stop love u bye bye

k well first off people do listen to the fuckin music and yea the guys r hot but the r also an inspiration to a lot of people and they r also hot yea and i think their music and them rock and they will always be my favorite bank

I love My Chemical Romance. Obviously I love the band members to pieces, but I can honestly say I love the music more I have a long story to tell but I don't want to bore you all, I just want to say, do you know that they are at least 8 tracks into their new album? They are also thinking about playing some new stuff in their fall tour...I thought I'd let you all know :D

I love mcr so much they saved my life! they opened my eyes to so much more that i did not see. There is nothing about them that i do not like. I am obsessed with them. I am obsessed with gerard! he is the best writer i have ever heard, he sings so awsomely, he is the person i dream about, and i can't stand it when people talk bad about mcr there is nothing wrong with them in fact there is everything right with them there music is so powerful i just wish i could see them once just one time and i would be happy it would complete my life i love mcr and i love all the members in it togerther as a team i think they can and will do anything and everything.

My name is Jenny and i live in Illinois. I'm not gonna be like o my god. I luv MCR. Gerard Way is the fucking sexiest guy who ever lived! (Which wouldn't be a lie). And I'm not gonna be like "I can't believe that's all u ppl have to say about them". Cause I'm not like that. honestly. I try to not do what everyone else is doing, but the only person I care who thinks about me is my mom. I have to get practicly staright a's and crap, and I basicly have to "be" a certain way. I don't know why, but when I listen to mcr, I somehow feel free, i guess. Their lyrics and music take me away. I find myself zooning out and just feeling almost relaxed when I listen to them. I know if my mom heared them... she wouldn't approve, so I sometimes stay up past 3:00 a.m. listening to the cd over and over. And, omg, I'm dead tierd the next day! lol. And I can't go see a concert until I'm older and my mom has no say in what i do. I can't wait! My mom isn't like some up-tight, mean, non-excepting person ,but I just have to love her as she is. And I do. All I can say is that I hope u guyz keep up the work with the crazy-good lyrics and the amazing music (guitar, drums, and all!) Thnx for be a great influence with all the messages you guyz send to people!!! I could not ask for a better example for the best band ever!!!
much luv,
Jenny

They're all sweethearts.
I can't say they've worked super hard to get where they are,
but they have talent,
and I'll continue loving them,
no matter how mainstream they get.
Because if you like a band before they become popular,
it's nearly impossible for them to get annoying.
kthxbye.

how can these cockwads call themselves punk, what do they think they are "genre jumping" caped crusaders...fuck them.
You cannot have your cake and eat it too, be a rock band douchebag and be proud of it, because punk rockers...REAL punk rockers...HATE your skinny white xanax popping make-up wearing ASSES.
Your career clock has gone into overdrive with the emergence of Fallout Boy as reigning Queens of pussy pop "Fake-Punk" so enjoy it while it lasts...In ten years you won't be able to pack a bingo hall in Bend Oregon...suck a dick

OMG!!!! I LOVE MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE! i have bought ALL of their cd's and i own 4 posters, and i think that GERARD IS SO FUCKING HOTT!!! omg!!! omg!!! omg!!!!! i swear, i'm gonna find them, and when i do, i think i might rape gerard. jk,jk. but i do love these guys, their songs, and their actual music in general, gosh. i mean, this band is probably the best since RHCP. haha. yea.
